U.S. History courses are both a staple of American education and a challenging endeavor, no matter the level. U.S. History students must memorize dates, events, individuals, and the wealth of connections between all three! Whether you need to study for a test or write a paper, a tutor can teach you strategies to manage your time and retain class content. U.S. History does not have to be a subject that you fear or dread anymore. Tutors have numerous tips and tricks to help you with memorization. It doesn't matter whether you are an elementary-, middle school-, high school-, or college-level U.S. History student -- there is a tutor out there for you. Even if you've been out of school for a few years and are just getting back into the school scene, there's a tutor who can help you.
Maybe you are struggling with understanding the demographic effects and changes of immigration, or struggling with homework questions about capitalist development, globalization, and economic transformations. Whatever it is, you will find that your tutor is well versed in each topic. You can feel confident knowing that you are getting the most accurate information, because each tutor has a specialized degree in their field of choice and has been working in their area for quite some time.

There are so many benefits to having a personal, private U.S. History tutor. First of all, tutoring provides an individualized and structured learning experience. Your tutor will get to know you on a personal level and teach you in a manner that is geared toward your learning style. A tutor will also help you improve your academic performance and personal growth. Your tutor can improve your attitude towards U.S. History by showing you how interesting and entertaining this subject can be. Once your tutor begins helping you raise your grades, you will start to notice an increasing interest in history. A tutor can spend more time with you on a personal level than a classroom teacher, which gives you plenty of time to ask questions and get answers.
An excellent tutor uses multiple methods to improve their student's abilities and keep their interest. You will find that your tutor uses unique techniques to keep you engaged in the material. Games can be used to help you memorize important history dates or learn about certain people. Your tutor may also use multimedia tools such as songs, videos, and presentations. Humor can brighten a subject that students find dull or uninteresting; it also has been proven to increase the engagement and interest of the student. Your tutor may also encourage you to change up the location of your sessions to decrease the chances of boredom. These are just a few of the unique methods that your tutor may use to help you succeed.
These tutors have proven track records in high school and college history courses. Best of all, they know just how to combine their firsthand knowledge and love of education to help you succeed.

★★★★★
"Sixth session on 4/18: The student and I covered topics relevant to World War I in preparation for his exam on Monday. We reviewed note-taking strategies, chapter analysis, and narrative development for certain historical events (.e.g. how to associate dates, organizations, acts, proposals, etc. with a specific type of impact or historical change). Before leaving, I highlighted from his teacher-given study guide the information that still needed to be looked up/studied/written as a notecard. "

We also worked on writing brief, concise, complete answers to study questions, which are submitted for a grade. The student also worked on math measurement topics such as metric and standard American conversions, time, and temperature."

"This evening the student and I went over his 100 question homework and test review for history. We also practiced making use of the index in the history book to identify the passages where answers to these questions might be located."
★★★★★
"Reviewed the 1st-4th Crusades, People's Crusade, Children's Crusade, and other minor Crusades, quizzing client and explaining overarching themes (military and cultural impacts). Reviewed school study guide highlighting major characters, events, and dates."
★★★★★
"I started this session with the student by helping him with a college admission essay assignment. I helped the student focus his essay by asking him some questions that would force him to eliminate any extraneous information. He struggled with understanding what he should and should not keep in his essay, but with only a page to use, he quickly came to understand the distinction I was trying to illustrate for him. The student and I then moved on to preparing for a History essay test. His instructor gave the class four broad topics on which they should be knowledgeable. We spent most of our time covering these topics and reviewing the textbook chapters in which those topics were featured. We then discussed some potential questions his teacher could ask in order to get him into the proper mindset when thinking about these topics."
